Buffalo chicken wings in the air fryer.
Air fryers are awesome! I am addicted to these Buffalo cauliflower wings we get from the grocery store.
First thing I made with it was buffalo cauliflower bites that I made from scratch (buffalo sauce is super easy. It's mostly Frank's Red Hot and butter)
I made the "Chicken Dumplings" from the Elder Scrolls cookbook tonight. Though I think they're more like hand pies. Tasted freaking amazing though.
I've also done the braised rib and farro stew. And just the other day I tried the Companions meatball bake. Not bad, but hard to find the right dish for baking it. It came out way underdone and I had to microwave everything.
I made refried beans tonight to go with our tacos and nobody else would try it 
They were awesome.

I’m with your family, but it’s because I don’t eat any beans or peas. The texture just weirds me out.I made refried beans tonight to go with our tacos and nobody else would try it
They were awesome.
I blended the crap out of them. I have two immersion blenders and I used the beast to pulverize them.
To be fair, I think refried beans are one of the only beans that don't go over well in this house, too. Black beans and/or kidney beans are regular parts of our meals. But if they were yummy, more for you!
Yes. They will definitely get you up off your butt to go do what needs doing.

I had sausage, eggs, pancake mix (though it's also easy enough to make from scratch), cheese and kitchen rounds. And I got plenty of sleep so I wasn't drag-ass this morning. Result:
Homemade sausage mcgriddles.

It is quite possible to make bad chili, and bad things that are called chili and are not chili.

Tell me you play classic rock for boomers.
I cook a lot of things, but baking is not my strong suit. So I got a beginners cookbook a while back when pandemic buying had the grocery stores empty of bread.
The book recommended some equipment I didn't have, so i just made bread in the bread machine while I waited for it to arrive.
As it happened, by the time my banneton arrived, the stores had bread again, so my bread book went on a shelf.
Now that I'm not schooling, I have more free time. Behold, my first country loaf of homemade bread!

With the angle I took the shot, it's hard to get an idea of the size and height of the loaf. This pic is the 2nd slice off of the loaf. It's probably 1/2" taller in the very middle. The bread has that nice crispy, flaky outside, with a soft, chewy inside. It's close to as good as any dome-style loaf I've gotten at the grocery store.
You could actually hear the crust crackling as the bread cooled, which I thought was neat.

These are awesome! I had no choice because the oven is self cleaning. I won’t do them any other way now.
This might just be the best looking loaf of bread I've ever baked. I split it in half and turned it into a garlic loaf, but set aside a portion untoasted for my niece, who refused to eat the spaghetti I made for I had committed the sin of adding the sauce directly to the pasta instead of serving it separately for her to pour on top.
